Assessing the Impact of Information Sharing in Logistics
Collaboration in Supply Chain: An Empirical Study
Asad Ullah
This paper seeks to assess the impact of information sharing
in logistics collaboration in supply chain in the select
automobile manufacturing companies in India. As the
importance of information sharing have been firmly
established for the success of collaborative practices, it is
considered essential to study the multidimensional nature of
collaboration and its impact on the performance of
collaborative supply chain practices in Indian automobile
manufacturing companies. The paper addresses the need of
greater information sharing among collaborative partners in
the automotive supply chain by reporting results of a survey
examining the collaborative supply chain practices within the
Indian automobile manufacturing companies.
The study illustrates that information sharing improves
operational performance and thus this paper will be
beneficial to the logistics managers involved in collaborative
practices in their respective supply chains.
